And the description is wrong - this isn't exactly just power management,
there are lots of changes here.  You should separate them out into multiple
patches.

Thats OK, as long as this patch can be applied on its own, without requiring
the previous patch.  It is one thing to write a new PM interface for the 
whole system, but the driver suspend and resume functions should never be
system specific.  That makes life easier for future developers.

I think we can all get along here.  The PM stuff looks decent to me, and
Sergei had some good comments about the rest of the patch.  I don't see
any reason why the two of you can't get together and bang out a few patches
to fix all of our ills.
